Ivan’s Motto: “That Equity May Prevail. One must keep this at the forefront, and believe it, because it’s so easy to get discouraged and quit. ” A number of regulators had approached me on some of the issues mentioned above. They asked if and when there would be a fi nished product, or at least something tentative that they could take back to their State. I didn’t have a good answer, other than “hopefully this July… if and when it comes to a vote!”
Dear NCWM Members,
Today as I write this next installment for the NCWM newsletter, it crossed my mind that there are only 179 days left as my time as Chairman. It’s going fast. I had two goals. One was to publish a NCWM retail motor fuel manual for inspectors to use and train with, (which has had positive reviews) and the other, (#2) a national LP survey. At present, one of those has been completed, and the other kicked o ff in February, can’t wait to get the results back from that. Keep in mind, the main goal for the NCWM Field Training Manual, was to simplify the complication’s that come with the use of HB44, 130, and EPO’s and make it an easy to read, reference guide for the Inspector! Since the end of the INTERIM in Tampa I have really started thinking more about other such publications. Scales come to mind. Ecommerce, testing requirements for electrical vehicles devices, mass fl ow meters used as testing devices. Cannabis! And the list goes on.

At our next Board meeting this Spring I’ll be asking the Board to consider an NCWM reference publication, similar to the newly developed RMFD publication. Two pressing issues that come to my mind are the Cannabis and E-commerce. For the Sake of Equity, Cannabis wants regulations, and E-commerce needs model regulations.
